13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones,and it prevaileth against them:he hath spread a net for my feet,he hath turned me back:he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand:they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck:he hath made my strength to fall,the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me:he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men:the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
16 For these things I weep;mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water,because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me:my children are desolate,because the enemy prevailed.
17 Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her:the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him:Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
18 The Lord is righteous;for I have rebelled against his commandment:hear, I pray you, all people,and behold my sorrow:my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
19 I called for my lovers, but they deceived me:my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city,while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
